Who’s Jordan Simone

I believe he’s a sportscaster for the local fox channel in Phoenix.

can we put spoiler tags around flex's tweets?

We need that Twitter 'disinformation' tag for him.

I’d settle for a poop emoji

This is the one area I think flex might actually know stuff. I do think he’s got a source in CP3/Book’s agency. It’s possible he does actually know something here. But he’s also just an eternal optimist and feels like he plays a lot up that he doesn’t know.

I've always kinda felt like he'd play Game 6 if it got that far. Elimination games are too important and we know Booker is a sicko.

[specialsauce]

Payne only played 12 minutes? Haha. He was impactful though. We need him if Book isn’t coming back

He was AWFUL. Out of control with his drives which left him lying with the cameramen every time leading to a 4 on 5 fastbreak for NO, bad fouls. God, I just hate when he’s on the court right now. Just give Holiday those minutes FFS.

Bridges willed us to victory tonight.

If we play desperate we win. That’s what it takes. That’s the hand we’ve been dealt by James Jones with our lack of size at the 4. We need energy to make up for a lack of size and they had it tonight. Finally Mikal had a great offensive game.

[Flagrant Fowl]

This was the first game in this series that didn't feel like every 3-point shot was an automatic miss.

The Pels play really good defense, but we've all known if Suns hit their averages, this series isn't much of a contest.

[Split T]

Can you imagine having two Bridges? Wow…who’s the closest comparison for Bridges…I’m mostly meaning someone who can defend 1-4 at an elite level, never misses a game, above average 3pt shooter, elite cutter, and flashes some on ball ability…is there anyone like him? Honestly Smart might be the closest except Mikal doesn’t do stupid things like Smart and no one is as reliable minutes wise.

His 1st half run was very good. I agree the 2nd half run was less so, but he was attacking the basket and trying to get fouls…thought he could have gotten a few with how the refs were calling it. He also hit a big 3 to end the 3rd. I like Holiday, but he doesn’t put pressure on the rim like Payne can.

[Wally_West]

Fully expect Scott Foster to ref game 6.

Fully expect Scott Foster to ref game 6.

Hopefully they save him for a game 7 that doesn’t happen. Who was the game 1 crew? I liked them best

Sure

i was just being difficult, Split.

[SunsRIt]

The NBA shouldn’t have Scott Foster anywhere near a Suns game. A couple of losses I’m a row with the same ref could be considered a coincidence. 13-14 straight means there is a problem and the NBA should not want that controversy.

[Split T]

The NBA shouldn’t have Scott Foster anywhere near a Suns game.

He reffed yesterday…I’m hoping he gets a game tomorrow as I can’t imagine they’d make him ref back to back.

Haha, it’s no worries…figured you were..easy to do though and I know quite a few don’t care for his tweets(myself included at times)

[iLLmatic]

He was a damn monster.

[Flagrant Fowl]

If I were to make a bet, I'd guess Foster will be on the Grizzlies/Wolves game. That series has been an officiating shit show recently and Foster has yet to make an appearance.

[Split T]

Mikal is fast becoming my favorite all time Sun…honestly just between him and Shawn at this point.

Hopefully Booker does play Thursday, but I won't hold my breath.

Great game by the Suns. They didn't let the Pels go crazy in the 3rd quarter and did a good job of blitzing Ingram tonight. BI only had 22pts, they didn't let him go off for 30.
